Flooding or submergence is one of the major environmental stressors affecting many man-made and natural ecosystems worldwide. The increase in frequency duration heavy rainfall due to climate change has negatively affected plant growth development, which eventually causes death plants if it persists for days. Most crops, especially rice, being a semi-aquatic plant, are greatly by flooding, leading yield losses each year. Genetic variability response flooding includes quiescence scheme, allows...

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are primarily found in plants stem, roots, and other organs play significant roles tolerance to several abiotic stresses. Plants synthesize a discrete set of LEA response drought stress. In this study, the expression patterns genes were investigated two advanced mutant rice genotypes subjected stress condition different physiological traits including photosynthetic rate, leaf chlorophyll content, photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency (...

Understanding the genetic variability using different qualitative and quantitative traits plays a significant role in kenaf breeding program. To achieve this objective, study was conducted on yield components over two planting seasons to evaluate diversity heritability among mutant lines multivariate analysis identify superior genotype for future Highly differences (p ≤ 0.01) recorded traits. Strong moderately positive phenotypic correlation observed between dry fiber weights all...

Kenaf is a fiber crop belonging to the genus Hibiscus (Malvaceae), and potential of this plant, its multipurpose use, environmentally friendly cellulose have placed kenaf at forefront both commercial subsistence farming. Due inadequate agricultural practices, low production potential, photoperiodism, yields are relatively low. The varietal development in hindered by lack knowledge heredity, which also affects successful usage protection important germplasm. amount enhanced identifying...

The physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization of the constituents magnesium-rich synthetic gypsum produced in a rare earth-refining plant located Gebeng, Pahang, Malaysia was conducted through elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX)-analyzer, thermal fluorescence diffraction. crystalline nature by-product studied using FTIR spectroscopy. Elemental analysis confirmed presence Ca Mg, which are essential macronutrients required by plants...
